Case Study: Tilson achieves scalable telecom inspections and real-time field data access with Fulcrum

Tilson surveys 10,000 utility poles with Fulcrum

Tilson, a provider of telecom engineering and construction services, faced a challenge in scaling its field data collection for large projects like a 10,000-pole survey in Kentucky. Their old process of using cameras, GPS units, and Excel was inefficient and not scalable. They needed a unified, mobile data collection solution that allowed for real-time monitoring and easy data export, turning to the vendor Fulcrum for its platform.

Fulcrum provided a customizable mobile data collection platform that integrated seamlessly with Tilson's workflows. The solution offered real-time data access for managers, a low learning curve for field crews, and valuable features like Data Share. Using Fulcrum's API, Tilson built a proprietary backend system, gaining a competitive advantage. The results included a fully scalable process, guaranteed data accuracy, and significantly shortened training periods for staff.
